I think one electronvolt is the same as a normal volt (like in a 9-Volt battery,) but I could be wrong.

It is the amount of energy an electron picks up accelerating across an electrostatic potential difference of one volt.

And unemployment, Camp X-Ray, and what to do with Sarah Palin all in one...

Puh...don't know how many times I have to tell you guys the aliens are coming back for us in 2011. I'll be laughing as my bags are packed and I'm ready to go, and y'all are running around looking for your favorite socks.
